Editorial
This issue presents four papers on varying aspects of Nile
Valley studies, from a statistical analysis of Meroitic, to a
report on new fieldwork in the Theban necropolis and a
reconsideration of inscribed material from Edfu. The final paper
features some considerations on publication methods in the subject
area.
The number of resources relating to Nile Valley studies
available on the British Museum website continues to expand.

includes Egyptian and Egyptianising objects.
Also, previously published monographs in the Research
Publications series will be made available for free download after
a certain period. A Naos of Nekhthorheb from Bubastis:
Religious Iconography and Temple building in the 30th Dynasty,
by Neal Spencer (with a contribution by Daniela Rosenow; Research
Publication 156, 2006), is now available.
